The Gazette published by the Insurgents at Ma drid, gives an account of the engagement of Virniera, in Portugal. This Newspaper, which is written tin der the influence of the English, says in express terms, that the battle was not decisive. This an nounces what the Convent ion.concluded with Gen. JUNOT had already proved, that the English are far ivotit having been victorious, as they boast of being in Their official reports.

Atter a long silence, Vesuvius has begun to cast foith flames from the top of its crater. This circum stance and many other phenomena which have been lately remarked, give reason to fear an approaching eruption. PARIS, OCT. 28.—Yesterday at noon, the Em peror being seated on his Throne, surrounded by the Princes, -Grand Officers, and Officers of his Household, the Ministers, Members of the Senate, and Council of State, received at the Palace of the Thuilleries a Deputation of the Legislative Body. The Deputation being admitted to the foot of the Throne, his Excellency the Count DE FONTANES, the President, pronounced the following Address : SIRE, " The Legislative Body lays at your Majesty's feet the Address of Thanks voted by all the French people as well as by them. " The paternal sentiments contained in the Speech you have delivered from the Throne, have diffused throughout love and gratitude. " The first of Captains sees something more heroic and elevated than victory--V-es, Sire, we have it from your own mouth : there is an autho rity more powerful and permanent than that of arms—it is the authority which is founded upon good laws and national institutions. The codes which your wisdom dilated will extend further than your conquests, and reign, without effort, over twen ty different nations, whose benefaetor you are. • " The Legislative Body ought, above all, to cele brate those peaceful triumphs, which are never fol lowed but by the blessings of the human race. " Legislation and the Finances—it is to that that our own duties are confined, 'and it is from you we have received that double benefit. " To yeti was it given to re-discover social order under the wreck of a vast Empire, and to re-esta blish the fortune of the State in the midst of the la: • vages of war. "You have created, as you have every thing be sides, the true elements of the system *of Finance. Thai System, the most proper for great Monarchies, is simple and fixed as the principle that governs them—it is not sustained by those artificial means which have all the inconstancy of opinions and of events—it is imperishable as the riches of our soil.. " If sometimes difficult circumstzThces render fiew taxes necessary, those taxes, always proportioned to that necessity, do trot exceed the duration of it. The future is not devoured before hand. We shall see no more, after years of glory, the State sunk under the weight of the public debt, and bankruptcy, fol lowed by revolutions, open an abyss in which thrones and society itself are entirely lost. These miseries are far from us.—The receipts :Taal the expenditure.—The present burthens will not be augmented ; and you give us this assurance at the moment when other States are exhausting all their resources. When you immolate your own happiness, the happiness of the people occupies your whole soul. It was affected with the aspeet of the Grand Family, (for thus you call France), and though sure of its utmost devotedness, you offer peace at the head of a million of invincible warriors. " It is with this generous design that you saw the Enaperor of Russia. Hitherto, when Sovereigns so poWerful approached each other from the ex tremities of Europe, all the neighbouring States were in alarm. Sinister and menacing presages ac cOMpanied their grand_ interviews The two first Monarchs of the world unite their standards not to invade, hut pacify the world. " Sire, your Majesty has pronounced the word sacrifices, and we dare say to your Majesty, that word' completes ail your triumphs. Certinly the nation wishes no more than yourselrfer those sacrifices that would injure their glory and yours ; but there was but one means of increasing your grandeur, it was to moderate the use of it.—You have shewn us the speCtacle of force which subdueS every thing, and you reserve for us a more extraordinary speetacle , that of force subduing itself. ' A hostile people, it is true, pretend to re tard this last glory.—They have, descended, upon the Continent at the voice of discord and of fac tions. Already you have taken up your arms -to march and meet them—already you abandon . France, which for so many years his seen you but for so few days ; you depart, and I know not what fear, inspired by love and tempered by hope, has disturbed all our hearts. Yet, we know full well that wherever you are you carry with you fortune and victory. The Country accompanies you with its regret and its wishes; it recommends you to her brave children who form your faithful legions—tier wishes will your soldiers swear upon their swords to watch round a head so dear and so glorious, where so many destinies repose.—Site, the hand that has led you, from miri; to miracle, to the summit of IMMO LONDON, TUESDAY, NOVEbIBER 8, 1808. We have kosived Dutch Papers to the lid lost. one of them contains BcrotrAPAara's Message to the Legislative Body, the substance of which we some time ago laid before our Readers. They bring no other news of importance. Since writing the above, we have received French Papers, containing the Address trom the Legislative Body to BLIONAPARTE, and his Answer. Madrid Gazettes to the 26th, reached town last night. It appears that several skirmishes had taken place between the advanced Posts of tite Spanish and French Armies, in which the former were uni formly successful. . By the Getlenturgh Mail we have received the following additional intelligence : Head-quarters, Lemland, Od. 24. His Royal Majesty has received the following Re port from Admiral Puma : Having judged it necessary to inspea, myself, the position in Rogerwick, I proceeded thither on the 7th instant, in company with the English Ships of the Line. I found that the whole RussianFfeeV had set sail, with the exception of t WC, Fri gates, which had lowered their top-gallant-masts. One of them was under way, but dropped anchor again on our approach. She probably intended to sail up the Bay of Finland, in com p:my with the other frigate, Which seemed ready to set sail ; a large frigate lay stranded in the and no person could be discovered on board. His Majesty's Frigate Camilla, at anchor its Carlscrona Roads, the i6th Oduher, [BOB. Intelligence has been received that, about . the 15th instant, the Russian Garrison in Abo amounted to about one thousand men ; and that in the vicinity of the town several Batteries have been construaed. In the anion near Helsing, the Russian fotce amounted to seven thousand men, who are now quartered in the adjacent villages.—(Stockholm Ga zette, OFI. 27.) THE Opposition Writers seem determined to tack Ministers at all events upon the subje& of Por tugal, and their attacks have been in general re markable as much for their gross inconsistency, as for their total want of candour. Our Readers will recoiled that we some time ago called their attentica to some observations in an Opposition Paper, upon the Proclamation issued by Gen. HOPE, for preserving the tranquillity of Lisbon. Upon that occasion, not, ohly the terms of the Proclamation were censured, but the fart of issuing it was represented as an inStili`i, o' - •ei - 01-1 our Ally the Prince Regent. So jealous werethe,se„ Gentlemen; of any thing like the assumption of ,au thority by the British Commanders in Portugal, that even the adoption of a necessary measure, to preserve the peace of the City of Lisbon, until the Govern ment established by the Prince Regent could resume its functions, was represented almost as - an aCt of usurpation. But no sooner was that Government re-established in Portugal, than the very same writers accused the AdministratiOn of this country .for hav ing restored it. After assuming the fait, that the British Troops which are left in Portugal jwere left merely for the purpose of maintaining the Govern , ment, they ask, ‘.‘ why is there a 'Government in Portugal which requires a foreign force to sup port it ? We hope it is not -so. But if 'it is; the fault must be with the English, for appointing or re-instating a Government there which . forfeited the confidence of the PortugueseJ4ll3 That is to say, that the English ought to have as sumed to themselves the right of determining what sort of Government was best suited to the Portu guese, or most likely to please them. Such languag e from any quarter would deserve reprobation, but it is really too much from those who declaimed so long and so loudly aboeilt our interfering in the internal affairs of France. THE . discontented spirits of Es3ex, who, after a solemn promise from the Throne, were antions , ,tei address his MAJESTY again on the subje& of 0 . 4 Purrogal Convention, and 'wrte, by irnp)iOation., accusing his MAJESTY of a disposition to retrata that promise, are toot, it seems, to be driven from their obiea, though the loyalty and good sense of ‘the Cetintry triumphed over them at the late llft!etinl' The, therefore applied to the High Sheriff► requesting him to convene another Meeting; but he has properly rejeeted the application, alledginif that there can be no reason lot " troubling al. County a second time, upon the same business, wile* its opinion has-been so completely expressed by the decision on the motion of adjournment." The Get' ter containing the application to the High Sheriff, says, that from the" most careful inquiry," the pet' sons who signed it were led to believe that their judts ment on the division was more corred than tha t which the High Sheriff was " kifortunately WWI . to give, and while they profess a rehidauce to dis turb the tranquillity of the County, they have the modesty to demand a poll, as if they Were going to clause a Representative in Parliment• jt is a very strange way of spewing a disposition to preserve the tranquillity of a County, by eticlea' vowing to disturb it with all the confusion of a VA' tested election. But those advocates for Addressegr who thus distrust the Royal word, solerusaiy pledgea •to the Nation, have since met, and. have printd some Resolutions arraigning the conduotolthe nigh Sheriff; but they seem to have some restraint of de licacy, for they tenderly accuse that Gentleman d having collie to an " tinsati,ffo Rory decision." M ild creatures!
